Storm’s fury slams Campbell River Thousands of residents spend a chilly night without power PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River felt the wrath of the lion’s roar. The proverbial “lion” of March ran roughshod over the city Monday, as Campbell River took the brunt of one of the fiercest storms to hit Vancouver Island in years. With heavy rain and southeast winds gusting between 80-135 kilometres an hour, the storm toppled trees, damaged homes and buildings, downed power lines, blew apart fences and created general havoc everywhere. And even when the winds died down in the afternoon and the sun appeared, it still wasn’t over. Thousands of residents spent a chilly night in their homes with no power as BC Hydro crews faced the monumental task of repairing downed lines and poles in several locations scattered across the city, including Quadra and Cortes islands. “Monday’s storm was intense and…severe,” said BC Hydro spokesman Stephen Watson. “Approximately 6,000 customers went through the night without power and crews hope to have those customers restored by late

Tuesday. There’s a chance a few customers in areas like Quadra Island and Cortes Island may have their power restored on Wednesday.” As light snow fell on the city Tuesday morning, hydro was

still reporting 256 outages across norther n Vancouver Island, affecting almost 17,000 customers. BC Hydro was hoping to have power restored to most areas in Campbell River by 6 p.m. Tues-

day. Public work crews were also kept hopping Monday with numerous road closures due to downed trees, limbs

Campbell River Salmon Foundation celebrates with its fifth annual dinner, dance and auction It was another sell-out affair for the Campbell River Salmon Foundation which held its fifth annual dinner, dance and auction at the Community Hall on Saturday night. There were dozens of silent auction items up for bid along with some amazing fishing trips and original art to be had at the live auction. When all was said and done, the event raised thousands of dollars to support salmon. The foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandate is to promote the conservation, rehabilitation and enhancement of watersheds for salmon north of the Oyster River to the Salmon River estuary and to the mainland coast.

A rainbow trout, carved from wood, by artist Jerry Strelioff was up for grabs at the live auction.

Storm: A busy day for the police Continued from A1 general manager of operations. “Road closures can be inconvenient, but most were open (Tuesday). Our infrastructure also kept running. Our water treatment and sewage treatment systems kept running on back-up generators… and those are the important things.” During the storm, Do gwood Street, through the Beaver Lodge Lands, was closed for most of the day, due to the danger of falling trees. Other road closures included G a l e r n o, b e t we e n Simms and Rockland, Alder Street near the Sportsplex and Evergreen. In one incident, a woman heading to work was stopped at the roadblock on Dogwood and Hilchey, and watched as the top of a tall evergreen tree snapped off. She said it “sailed like a kite” across the forest and nearly hit an RCMP officer who was standing in the middle of the road redirecting traffic. Another female officer – responding to a call where a tree came

down on a house and a child had not yet been located – had a tree crash onto the police cruiser’s front bumper. Fo r t u n a t e l y, s h e wasn’t injured, but the car is now in the shop. All in all, it was also a busy day for police. “T he 911 system received 416 calls for assistance in the Campbell River area alone,” said RCMP Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard. “RCMP would like to thank the 99 per cent of people who were patient and coped with the road closures which allowed for emergency workers to respond safely to the damages and effectively clear roads and homes.” Elsewhere in the city, high tide, driven by the wind, sent waves over the rip-rap at down-

town’s Robert Ostler Park. The open-air longhouse was flooded with sea water and logs were scattered across the adjacent parking lot. Parks manager Ross Milnthorp said the rip-rap will require “significant and fairly complicated repairs,” while a thorough cleanup of branches at all city parks will likely take a few weeks. That’s okay, according to Ruth Vangils, who posted this note on the Mirror’s website: “Thanks to city workers, hydro crews and RCMP for your dedication in restoring services to the people of Campbell River and surrounding communities.” As the city braced for another wind warning on Tuesday, Neufeld looked out the win-

dow from his city hall office and was pleased at what he saw. “Ahh, it’s a sunny day,” he said with a sigh of relief.

Taxes could be on the rise for the next three years KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City staff is recommending council increase residential property taxes for the next three years. The city estimates it will need to increase taxation in order to balance the budget in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Previous councils have relied on the city’s reserves, or savings accounts, to make up budget shortfalls but city staff warn that will cause serious financial headaches down the road. “Funding ongoing operations or multiyear projects through reserves or reducing expenditures or delay-

ing them for one or more years will continue the financial instability as these funds are one time money and will need to be replaced in the next financial plan by either an increase in taxes or by using more reserve funds,” said Laura Ciarniello, the city’s manager of corporate services. “In essence using this approach is masking the problem. This kind of cycle is not sustainable.” Instead, Ciarniello recommends a 15.27 per cent ($181.80 for the average home) increase in residential taxes for 2012; an 11 per cent ($98.78) increase in 2013; and a four per cent ($47.62) tax hike

for 2014. The city is also considering an increase in user fees for water, sewage, and recycling by 6.92 per cent this year; 9.71 per cent in 2013 and 3.79 per cent in 2014. “ T h ro u g h o u t t h e budget process, staff has advised council that it would recommend having the largest tax increase in the first year,” Ciarniello said. “The resolutions that were made...with regards to the parcel taxes and user fees has resulted in the middle year being most heavily affected. Council has the options to reevaluate their motions to adjust the increases to have the largest

increase in the first year.” Those options include expediting the water fee increase which is supposed to rise in small increments over the next year and delaying the garbage user fee decrease which came out of council’s financial meeting last month. Ciarniello said in both the 2013 and 2014 budgets, council will have to figure in an addition of three per cent, or $800,000, for inflation and wage increases. City staff also forecast the current rate of growth will continue and both budgets will have $200,000 generated from construction taxation.

Arena concession takes a hit KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The concession at Strathcona Gardens lost thousands of dollars in each of the last three years as attendance at the recreation complex dwindled. The Strathcona Gardens Commission, governed by the Strathcona Regional District, “has raised concerns about the costs to operate the Strathcona Gardens concession,” said Brian Reardon, regional district chief administrative officer. “It is a service that is generally appreciated by the user groups and the general public. Unfortunately, from 2009 to 2011, the concession has been losing money.” Last year the concession lost $22,043 while in 2010 the loss was $18,131 and in 2009 the concession lost $11,291. In 2011 the concession made $1112,783 in sales but paid out $83,554 in wages and $51,272 to suppliers for food. Reardon said the shortfalls could be blamed on the pool closure, the change in menu items, and a rise in labour, material and delivery costs. The concession has a mandate to operate at a no net loss. To help balance the books, the regional dis-

trict incorporates sales from vending machines when calculating the total revenues for the concession. Last year the two vending machines at Strathcona Gardens combined generated $16,327 in sales while in 2010 vending sales were $8,656 and in 2009 sales were $13,874. Yves Bienvenu, manager of facilities at Strathcona Gardens, said it can be difficult for the concession to turn a profit because it relies on user groups. “As a complementary service, the concession is almost exclusively dependent upon the number of customers participating in arena and swimming activities,” Bienvenu said. “One reason why revenues are in a downward trend is the surprisingly low profit margin set out in terms of trying to stay competitive with the outside market. One could also make the argument that there are many users of the facility who either refuse to buy from the concession or smuggle outside food and drink into the arena.” Bienvenu said in September that the drop in concession sales could also be connected to a drop in pool attendance from 43,621 in 2008 to 25,813 in 2010 as well as dwindling attendance

at Storm games. “Over the past three years the Storm hockey club has either not made the playoffs or has exited very quickly and attendance has reflected their performance by going from full houses to barely half full,” Bienvenu said. The concession, which employs two full-time and four to five part-time seasonal employees, recently introduced healthly food options but Bienvenu said the more wholesome menu items have not increased sales or profits as hoped. Ice and pool user groups will meet in late spring at which time a

review of concession operations will be presented. Bienvenu said the regional district will ask for feedback and suggestions as to the operation of the concession at that time. The concession operates from September to March and opens for the occasional tournament in April. The concession also provides food services for spring and summer events such as the circus, the home show and aquaculture show. The concession is open Monday through Thursday from 3:308:30 p.m. as well as Friday nights for Storm games and weekends from 7 a.m.-8:30 p.m.

6, around 11 a.m., at the intersection of 13th Ave. and Shopper’s Row. The 61-yearold cyclist was riding too fast on the sidewalk, didn’t stop at the intersection and hit the side of a Chrysler 300. “The collision caused a significant amount

of damage to the vehicle and the cyclist was lucky to avoid any significant injuries,” said RCMP Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard.

City service cuts shrink the 2012 budget shortfall KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city’s budget deficit has shrunk by a million dollars. Going into budget planning, the city faced a $3.6 million budget shortfall for 2012. As of March 9, that deficit stands at $2.4 million. The shrinking deficit came at the expense of several service cuts council made at its Feb. 28 financial planning meeting. “Council has worked hard to obtain public input about the current services provided, options about possible service reductions or elimination and has debated both of these topics extensively,” said Laura Ciarniello, the city’s manager of corporate services. “The decisions made over the last few finance committee meetings about services provided and the levels at which these services are delivered have resulted in a framework for the 2012 operating budget.” If the budget deficit stands at $2.4 million and if that deficit was borne solely by residential taxpayers, taxes would increase by 16.04 per cent, the

equivalent of $190.94 council has already per year for the aver- discussed the importance of not relying age household.

its financial meeting Tuesday night after the Mirror went to press. “Staff is proposing that creating a policy that states 50 per cent of the annual contributions to the gaming revenues be used for ongoing general operation support and 50 per cent be used to fund projects,” Ciarniello said. “The 50 per cent of annual contributions would equate t o ap p rox i m at e ly $300,000 or two per cent of residential taxes. It is a common practice among many municipalities to use gaming revenues in this manner.” Meanwhile, council also has $536,976 in its General Revenue Fund surplus to work with. The money is set aside to make up the lag time between when taxes are collected and when capital projects are funded through third party grants as there is often a lengthy delay between when the work is completed and when the grants are received.

Authority as there is also often a lag time of up to six months between when the application is made and when the funds are distributed. Ciar niello said council should leave the accumulated surplus in the General Revenue Fund instead of applying it to the deficit in order to reduce the cash-flow risk throughout this year. City council will continue to craft the budget during financial planning meetings scheduled last night and March 27. The five-year financial plan is slated for adoption by council at its meeting on May 1.

look for help. T h e b oy w a l ke d several kilometres and made it safely to Brown’s Bay, but his father was still missing. At 9:45 p.m., Sayward and Campbell River RCMP, along with volunteers from Campbell River Search and Rescue, began searching the area. At 12:32 a.m. Sun-

day, the father was found safe and sound, back inside his rental vehicle which he had returned to in order to wait for help. “Police and search and rescue would like to remind the public to always carry food and water and first aid supplies including warm blankets and a candle in their vehicles when traveling to

these remote areas,” said Cpl. Rod Pick of the Sayward RCMP detachment. “The best thing to do in a situation like this is always tell someone where your destination is, what your expected time of arrival is and never split up. “The best thing to do in this situation is to stay in your vehicle and wait for help.”

Clean Living Springs Forward

mission to remove rubbish from the sidewalks and boulevards of Campbell River has morphed into an adopt-ablock passion by like-minded citizens

of our fair city. Gordie Ronson and his wife have recently adopted an impressive four blocks, a 3-kilometre round trip excursion from Merecroft Road to McPhedran Road. A friend has claimed Glenalan Road, while Doug and his wife have

adopted a celebrated four blocks from South Alder to Robron Road. A friend cleans Barlow Road, and Anne Nikolic has adopted Alexander Drive. If you want to contribute, contact Susan Black at cleanlivingcr@ gmail.com.

Hydro project takes another step ing system. The project would create about 400 jobs a year over the five years of construction. First Nations, the community and the surrounding region will have an opportunity to be directly involved and benefit economically from the project construction. The next project steps include filing a federal Environmental Assessment Report with Fisheries and Oceans Canada later this month

PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

BC Hydro is pushing ahead with its ambitious $1.35 billion project to upgrade the Campbell River power generating system, but is still awaiting final approval from the B.C. Utilities Commission. O n T u e s d ay, B C Hydro announced it will proceed with an environmental and regulatory review application for the John Hart upgrade. It has also posted a project procurement request for qualifications on BC Bid. “There is a real sense of momentum as we take these significant steps forward in the various approval processes required for the proposed John Hart project,” said Chris O’Riley, BC Hydro’s executive VP of generation.” The catch though is whether the utilities commission will approve the enormous capital required to finance BC Hydro’s largest project.

BC Hydro has announced it will proceed with an environmental and regulatory review application for its John Hart upgrade.

Hydro is expected to make its application to the commission in May, and the approval process could take up to a year. The John Hart Generating Station has provided clean, reliable power for more than 65 years, but an upgrade is badly needed. The plan is to replace

the penstocks running from John Hart Lake to the generating station with a two-kilometre tunnel through bedrock, and to build a new generating station with more efficient turbines. The upgrades would also vastly improve the seismic stability of the power generat-

Our View

It was the storm of this century, at least It’s events like Monday’s storm that help us appreciate the public services we have. How would you like to have to go out to work in a storm like that? Many of our emergency and public services did. We say: Our So, kudos to our police officers, wild environment firefighters, BC Hydro and city and any others that headed occasionally puts crews out into the teeth of the storm to us to the test try and restore services or secure an area for safety reasons. It was wet and windy work, to understate the obvious, but somebody had to do it.

There will be many who will complain that perhaps it took too long to restore power or the street closures were a confusing mess and perhaps there’s a valid point there to be made but that’s for another time. On Monday, there were people who headed out to work and sure, they get paid for it but it doesn’t make it any easier. There were real threats to life and limb and we can be thankful that there are no reports of anyone being injured on the job. Residents can also pat themselves on the back because by all reports everyone handled the disruption with good grace. There are likely many instances of people watching out for each other

and their property. Out-of-school children had to be accommodated and that most likely involved a network of friends and relatives. Employers undoubtedly experienced productivity losses with many businesses being closed due to a lack of power and other situations. There will be costs to the public purse as trees and debris are cleared and insurance companies will undoubtedly be processing claims for significant damage done. Our wild, natural environment is one of the things we love about this area. Occasionally, it tests us but we seem to be able to respond to it with grace and dignity.

Letters

Council a ‘miserable failure’ Campbell River, you have been conned – smoke and mirrors. All this talk about bringing costs into line, nothing is going to change. You have to ask yourself, why does it cost more to run Campbell River than Courtenay. What Campbell River desperately needed was a mayor and council with the will to actually change things. They have failed miserably. “The residential taxpayer will have to cover the cost of all tax shortfalls.” I am also confused on the proposed tax increase. I am told that it is 24 per cent or $288 a year. Twenty-four per cent of my very average house taxes would mean an increase of over $700 per year. I sincerely hope that no one is thinking that this is a one time event. What happens when all the reserve money is gone? Next year there will have to be another huge increase in taxes. If only because everyone who works for the City will need an increase in wages just to keep up with rising costs. Just look at their own property tax bill – it just keeps going up. If you are retired and on a fixed income and can’t figure out how to come up with the extra tax money, I have Continued on A11 We welcome your opinions on stories and issues published in our pages as well as issues of broader concern encountered elsewhere.

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb

It’s so easy to get complacent in Campbell River. Sure, we have winters. Sometimes we even get a little snow. Lots of rain and it’s the damp cold that’s the worst kind, right? Soaks right through you. Oooh, it’s so tough. And after a like a month in total of days that had anything approaching winter temperatures, summer comes. Sure, we don’t get scorching 90-degree heat but it’s still pretty nice. Even a “bad” summer is pretty mellow with mists and summer rain and everything’s so green. So, yeah, it’s pretty easy to get complacent about the climate around here. And then you get smacked with a

storm like we had Monday. Wow. I tried to wind my way through the streets of Willow Point to drop my son off at North Island College only to find when we got there that it’s closed. Could they not have put that on a website somewhere or perhaps changed the message on their phone line? Anway, so back home we go winding our way through the street closures to find our power’s out. Oh well. Leave the family behind and I head out to wind my way through the blocked streets again to get some pictures of the damage and eventually make my way into work. On the Old Island Highway, I bail out of the line up heading north to get pictures of the ocean at the new

pump station. I did my version of the hurricane reporter. You know the one where they’re leaning nearly horizontal to show you the power of the wind. That’s what I did trying to get back to my car. I have never felt a wind that strong before. I gave up on the Island Highway, headed south and up Simms then north on Galerno only to be stopped by trees across the road. I eventually made it to work to upload my pictures and assess the damage. Meanwhile, back home, a tall tree in the back yard was making my wife nervous. It swayed back and forth so much that its roots lifted the ground around it 6-8 inches. So she decides to abandon the house and go to a

friend’s after warning our neighbour about the tree. Thankfully, the tree held it’s ground. And that, of course, is the unpleasant part about all this. We all love to see the power of the wind and we shake our head in amazement at the trees being ripped out of the ground but we can’t forget the damage and threat of injury and possibly death that is caused. Luckily, there’s no reports of serious injury or fatality but there’s no doubt it’s heartbreaking to see your house or car crushed by a tree. It is easy to get complacent about the climate here but as this storm shows, Mother Nature should never be taken for granted.

Christian School students to Stuff a Bus Last year, as a way to address some of the local needs, while in the midst of learning about global poverty, Campbell River Christian School (CRCS)

students and Baptist Church youth started the “Stuff A Bus” challenge. As part of the World Vision 30 Hour famine, CRCS students and

Clear up mistruths Continued from A10 a suggestion to make. You can save money for your taxes if you cut back to just two meals a day. However, when next year’s increase in taxes occurs, you may have to be content with only eating every second day. Your only other option is to sell and relocate south of Jubilee Parkway – your tax bill will drop in half. We have to change that sign south of town to read, “Welcome to Campbell River Home of the Highest Property Taxes in Canada.” In closing, maybe it is time to clear up a few mistruths that are presently being perpetuated in our tiny community. For example the 60,000 people who live in the Comox Valley are not in mortal danger because they have a volunteer fire department, nor is the property and the lives of the residents of Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Parksville, Qualicum, Ucluelet, Tofino, Nanoose Bay, Lantzville, Ladysmith, Chemainus, Duncan, Mill Bay, Colwood, Langford or Sooke in peril because they have a volunteer fire department. Ann Smith

CRBC youth wanted to give back to the community and help those in need. Collecting food items for the Food Bank is an opportunity for youth to reach out in a different way that goes beyond the confines of their peer groups and helps them understand that the challenges of global hunger and poverty are a reality for people here in Camp-

bell River. Stuff A Bus is a challenge that invites the community to give non-perishable food items to literally stuff a bus. Last year’s event was a great success as we were able to stuff the Campbell River Christian School bus to near capacity, filling each bench with four banana boxes of food for the Food Bank.

A11

This year they want to invite the community to give more, to fill the bus, floor to ceiling. Stuff A Bus is proudly sponsored by Quality Foods and 99.7 The River, and will be located at the corner of Merecroft and Dogwood on March 24 from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. Come out and give generously to the Campbell River Food Bank.

CROSSWORD CROSSWORD

minister of the United Church heard there was nowhere for the hungry to go for a meal on the weekends. “People that were hungry could get food five days a week at the Salvation Army but there was nothing for them on the weekends so we decided we could step in. The minister at the time made inquiries to the congregation at the United Church and the Anglican church and asked if there was anyone interested in setting something up,” Swift says. “In April 2002 we set up in the old Overwaitea, where Home

Hardware is now, and we set up with tents, oil and campstoves.” Swift said the volunteers fed between 30 and 40 people at the time, whereas now the soup kitchen typically serves between 80 and 90 people. The soup kitchen operates out of the Radian Life church, where it’s been based for the last four years. After moving from the original Overwaitea location, the soup kitchen was headquartered at the Salvation Army Lighthouse Centre on Cedar Street before being displaced and taken in by Radiant Life. The small church on Cypress Street is the perfect location, as the volunteers are able to take advantage of the community garden, planted behind Coast Realty. The soup kitchen also relies on service clubs such as the Eagles, and the Royal Canadian Legion. The group also collects bottles to purchase week to week food. The soup kitchen also benefits from a group of women from the Mormon church who has provided cookies for the soup kitchen every week, since the very beginning. “It truly is a community effort,” she says.

July 15th, 1964 – March 5th 2012

YOUR COMMUNITY, YOUR CLASSIFIEDS Call 310-3535

With very heavy hearts we announce the tragic and sudden death of a wonderful father, husband, son, brother and great friend to so many people. Daryl was taken from us way too early in an industrial logging accident as a faller. Daryl was predeceased by his dad Arnie Clark who was also taken tragically in the same manner. Left to mourn is his wife Jennifer and their 3 children, Arnie, Ashley and Kimberly, his mother Patti Clark, his sister Cindy Clark, extended families and numerous friends. Daryl spent the ﬁrst few years of his life in Sayward, BC where his dad was a faller. At the young age of only 6 his dad was killed in a falling accident. Shortly after his father’s death his mom moved him and his sister to Duncan to be closer to family. A year later they moved to Chemainus where he lived and grew up until he met his wife Jennifer. Daryl felt compelled, even knowing the risks, to give up logging and become a faller. Over the years he worked for numerous logging and falling companies on the North end of the island so in 2000 Jennifer and their children moved to Campbell River so they could be closer to Daryl’s work allowing more time together as a family. Daryl loved family, friends, hunting, boating, quadding and was passionate about his work, which in the end took his life. Please join Daryl’s family to help Celebrate his Life at the Campbell River Sportsplex on Saturday, March 17th at 2:00 at 1800 South Alder in Willow Point. Please consider making a donation in Daryl’s name to Matthew’s House at www.mattshouse.ca Messages of condolence for the family may be left at www.suttonsfuneralhome.com

Our heartfelt thanks to all our friends and family here and away for the love and caring shown to us these past few years, and for now sharing our loss. A special tribute must be made to all the staff who worked in Homestead South at Yuculta Lodge during these past nine months, their care and support to Jim and myself was uplifting. Also, to Dr. R.

Thank you also to Boyd's Funeral Service for their expertise. God Bless You All Lorna, Heather and Mike Parkinson, Nathan and Julia

Dec. 5, 1951-Mar. 4, 2012 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Wade Birchard after a courageous battle with cancer. He passed away March 4, 2012 surrounded by family. Wade was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and moved to Campbell River in 1960. He was a very social person and very devoted to family. He enjoyed the solitude of working at his cabin, motorcycle riding and riding his ATV with friends. He enjoyed life to the fullest and was always willing to help others. Wade was known for his annual fishing derby that lasted 10 years with all proceeds going to charity. He was on the board of CRTV and helped with various community activities. Wade was very proud of his successful business, Campbell River Door Services. Wade is survived by his soul mate of 31 years, Julie Birchard, son Kyle(Jenny), grandson Ashton, son Cody of Victoria, mother Connie, brothers; Ralph(Julie) Birchard of Calgary, Ken(Katie) Birchard, Perry(Kelly), sister Holly(Mark)Johnson of Saskatchewan, sister in law Connie Young of New Brunswick, mother in law Mary Clemenson, brother in law Danny(Lucy) Clemenson of Nanaimo, brother in law Charlie(Jan) Clemenson of Winnipeg, sister in law Sylvia(Ross) Filpula of Saskatchewan and numerous nieces and nephews. I would like to thank all his special friends who helped us through this difficult time and never left his side. I would like to thank Dr. MacNeill, Dr. Prinsloo and all the numerous nurses from the second and third floor of Campbell River Hospital. Also, Barb and Marleen from home care for all their care and compassion. I would also like to thank all the nurses and doctors from the 8th floor of the Royal Jubilee Hospital. Although our lives are feeling empty now, I know his spirit will help us through this. We were so blessed to have him in our lives. We will meet again in Heaven. In lieu of flower, please donate to the Canadian Cancer Society. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date Our time together was too short, but the memories will help us through. We will love you eternally. Julie, Kyle, Jenny, Ashton and Cody

Experts’ Advice What is an AED?

When these are addressed systematically most people are much healthier and happier!

Dr. Ingrid Pincott ND Naturopathic Physician Inc 300-1170 Shoppers Row, Campbell River 250-286-3655 / 1-800-898-6699 www.DrPincott.com Goldfish....friend or foe? Goldfish care is very misunderstood. To properly keep goldfish there are several rules to promote long term healthy fish. 1. They require 10 gallons PER fish. So in essence a trio of goldfish should be kept in a 30 gallon tank. So, no, a goldfish does not do well in a bowl nor a small tank. 2. A goldfish REQUIRES a filter. It’s not an option to keep goldfish without a filter, and use a good quality filter that will filter MORE than the actual tank size. 3. Goldfish live a LONG, LONG time if kept properly. An average life span for a goldfish is 25 years! YES 25 years with the longest lived goldfish living to a ripe age of 43 years. 4. A goldfish is not necessarily a coldwater fish. They can live in a tank with no heater but can THRIVE in a tank that is heated up to 78 degrees.

Sarah Kirk Owner

» Pet Store

6. Water changes. 25-30% every 2 weeks is your minimum! We often hear “my goldfish lived for an entire year in a bowl before it died” or “I just want to keep it in a vase” or “can I put it in my tank with tropical fish.” Remember the above....a year is a small small portion of a true lifespan, a goldfish in a vase might look pretty for a few days if it survives, and they are best to keep to a truly species specific system. A phrase we repeat often is “goldfish belong with goldfish”. There are exceptions, they don’t all die in bowls etc, but when you come in to ask our advice we are going to give you the best care recommendations for each and every fish and goldfish are no exception.

1250B Ironwood St., Campbell River 250-286-0077

» Hearing Aids

5. Feeding...they are a fish that require a higher vegetable content in their food, so feeding true HIGH QUALITY goldfish food daily, PLUS adding in some “duckweed” or other aquatic plant to aid in digestion. We also recommend feeding Brineshrimp by San Francisco Bay Brand that has added Spirulina twice a week. Goldfish stomachs are different than tropical fish... and will do much better having small meals several times a day rather than one large meal daily.

It’s scary but a 2003 study by the Canadian Cancer Society showed, Darlene Garat in Canada, every 4 minutes a new life Financial Advisor threatening cancer is diagnosed. Also, that 38% of all women and 41% of all men will develop some form of cancer in their lifetime. A serious illness can not only take a toll on a family emotionally, it can be devastating financially. You can protect your family by creating a safety net for whatever is needed: to help you receive advanced treatment; renovate a home to accommodate physical impairments; or even just to make the most of the time left with the ones you love. So many people insured under a Critical Illness plan have made benefit claims after a cancer diagnosis, that CI is often referred to as Cancer Insurance. CI is even available as a less expensive rider on some insurance policies. It is something that should always be considered in your family’s financial security plan.

Hearing aids in the drawer? Why?

ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU CAN DO PRO-ACTIVELY FOR YOUR NEW PUPPY IS TO TAKE THE TIME TO INTRODUCE HER TO BEING GROOMED.

To be a successful user of hearing aids the following steps need to be implemented. If one or more of these steps are missed it is very likely the hearing aids will end up Martin & Jana Jurek in the drawer. Hearing Instrument • Acceptance of the hearing loss Practitioners • Motivation to hear and listen better • Realistic expectations • Thorough hearing and lifestyle evaluation • Selection of proper hearing instrument based on the evaluation • Aural rehabilitation (a process of teaching the brain to listen with the new sounds) • Careful ﬁne-tuning of the hearing instruments to ﬁt the clients preferences • Ongoing care and maintenance Many people do not realize that hearing aids are only one part of the solution. If you or someone you know has hearing aids in the drawer maybe it is time to get some help. We are up to the challenge – are you? Call or stop by for a free experts’ advice.

Of course this is way more important for any of the breeds that will need regular grooming…. but equally important for any dog regardless of the type of coat they may have. Choose a professional groomer you are comfortable with, and chat with them about setting up an appointment for a new baby puppy. This may involve just leaving the puppy for a very short time with the groomer at a pre-arranged time where the pup can hang out and watch/ listen to the atmosphere.This is typically towards Cathy Merrithew the end of the day when it is hopefully not as hectic or noisy. The next visit may include a bath only, maybe a nail trim and face tidy, focusing on the puppy having a nice pleasant experience without too much fussing about a fancy trim. The puppy will find out about being handled by someone other than the owner, she’ll learn it’s OK to be away from the owner for a short time, her feet will be handled, and the coat brushed and combed. If you’ve chosen the right groomer, they should take their time, and reward the puppy with tiny treats for good behavior. You can also easily condition your pup to having their face and feet handled by you and even your friends when they visit, by touching then rewarding with a tasty treat. This type of “bomb-proofing” your pup can be started as soon as you welcome her into your family. Please don’t wait until your puppy turns into a matted mess before you hand them over to the professionals... a kind groomer would insist on the puppy being clipped right down, avoiding potential pain from pulling on the hair and trying to make her first grooming appointment a pleasant time.

The Internet Interne has changed many things in ou our day to day lives. In the area of Graphic Gra Design, it has had a tremendous effect. Now anyone anyon with a word processing program (i.e. (i.e MS Word) or page layout (MS Publisher, Print Shop, program (M Sharilyn Irving etc.) and a cconnection to the internet, be a graphic can hypothetically hypothe designer if tthey know what they are doing and have an eye for layout and ddesign. The biggest problem, however, are the images and graphics that people “pull off the web” to incorporate into their documents. Just because it looks good on the screen doesn’t mean it will look good iin print. All our mo monitors, from CRT to LED, have an optimized resolution aat 96 DPI. That means that if an image is at 96 DPI, it will look ggood on the screen and you can see it very well. However, when w printing anything from a ﬁle, most printers , from inkjet to commercial copiers, have a minimum optimized resolution aat 300 DPI. This means that if you would like to print a document with an image, the image has to be at least 300 DPI at the size tthe image is being printed at. So, if you are ar pulling images from the web, make sure that they are at a high enough resolution so when you print them, your images look good.

Yes you can! There are several species of roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms that can transmit from dogs and cats to people. Most of these worms cause very minor or no signs of illness at all in dogs and cats. Sometimes when these worms get into humans they can get confused and migrate into various organs including the eyes and Dr. Kevin Penner liver, causing serious illness.The worms Veterinarian all tend to pass from the pet’s faeces to people. The worm eggs in the faeces are usually very small and can’t be seen without a microscope. There are several things you can do to minimize your risk of getting worms from pets. Always make sure to wash your hands with soap and water after working outdoors, handling your pet or their faeces, and before meals. Try to train your pet to defecate in only one area and promptly remove the faeces. Cover sand-boxes when not in use, and wear gloves while gardening. In addition to these simple precautions you should perform regular fecal tests and deworming on your dogs and cats. Talk to your vet about a parasite control plan for your pet based on their risk.

When my best friend got cancer everyone jumped to help. However, the cost of lost work and travel, and special treatments she received has wiped them out ﬁnancially. She is now in remission, but still can’t work and is worried they may now lose the roof over their heads. How can we avoid this happening to us?

Pensions held within and managed by a pension manager pay out fixed income amounts. We have seen pension managers lower these fixed payments, so experience has shown that the amounts are not guaranteed. Much depends on the markets and Peter Garat the stability of the union or company Certified Financial Planner paying into the pension in the decades you will be retired. Moving your pension out to an independent financial planner actually allows you to invest at your risk level, and control the income flow. If you want to take higher income during your healthy, active retirement years you can. You can also have more potential liquidity over time and invest in products and strategies that are far more tax efficient and protect your family better financially. Overall, inside the pension they have all the control, but outside of the pension – with an independent, dual licensed financial planner – you have far greater control of your money.

An AED is an Automated External Deﬁbrillator which is a compact, self contained machine designed to assist in resuscitating a person in cardiac arrest. An AED analyzes the heart and determines if there is a normal or abnormal heart rhythm. If the AED determines that there is an abnormal hearth rhythm, the AED uses electrical energy from a battery pack to interrupt the abnormal heart rhythm and allow Jennifer Comeau a normal heart rhythm to resume. An Branch Manager AED will not shock a normal, beating heart. An AED, when applied within one to two minutes of collapse from cardiac arrest can improve the chances of survival up to 90% and for every minute that an AED is delayed, the chances of survival decrease by 10%. After approximately twelve minutes, the chances of survival for cardiac arrest are less than 5%. As a result, an AED can drastically increase a person’s chances of surviving and recovering from cardiac arrest.
